IDH, the sustainable trade initiative which brings governments, companies, CSOs and financiers together in action driven coalitions, has released its 2019 annual report 'Delivering sustainable solutions for business impact'. According to this report IDH has made progress on its sustainability developing goals and is providing sustainable solutions to businesses and governments.

In the apparel sector, IDH operates in Vietnam, Pakistan, India, and China to address the challenges by developing sustainable business models, public-private partnerships that inform policy, and collaborative improvement program. In 2019, IDH also explored replicating some of the program’s successes in Ethiopia. As a result, a forum was formally established, convened by IDH, bringing together key public, private and CSO actors to facilitate the sustainable growth of the textile sector in Ethiopia, thereby achieving our goal to get five platforms up and running.
